78

Try time ! A beautiful phase of play from Edmond Dantes. The ball goes from Ashley Woodland to Arran Miller and on to Romeo Ionuţ Ionescu, who is running in support. There is nothing to stop him as he crashes over the line with a big smile on his face !

77

It looks like Printesa Ralu lost the ball in the ruck. Their forwards weren't quick enough to protect the ball.

Turnover. Printesa Ralu now has possession and the forwards are calling for the ball, this could be costly for Edmond Dantes.

72

Some good attacking play by Edmond Dantes here. Ashley Woodland easily dismisses Tapio Kesä before sending a long floating pass towards Scott Moir. That looked forward, but not to the touch judge. A short well timed pass to Ratko Katalinski puts him into space, but he fails to catch the ball. Scott Moir doesn't look too happy to see his hard work wasted.

70

Nice breakthrough by Juan Pablo Melgarejo who gets low and charges. He cannons into Ratko Katalinski like a stampeding bull, but Ratko Katalinski wraps him up and manages to bring him down. Looks like we finally know what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object.

Jacinto Siqueira takes the kickoff, launching the ball high into the air over Printesa Ralu stadium. Juan Pablo Melgarejo positions himself well, and takes the ball in the air right in front of Andreas Brasque. Good hands from the Printesa Ralu player there.

On the halfway line, Rasmus Tonstad runs straight at Patryk Kępka, handing him off strongly before offloading to Scott Moir. The defence is there in numbers, but he spins out of Sławomir Anioł's tackle, then spins the other way, avoiding Matthew De villiers as well. The fans are on their feet as he passes to Romeo Ionuţ Ionescu just inside Printesa Ralu's 22 metre line! He pins his ears back and sprints for the line, getting there before the defence can cover him, and dives over for a well-worked 5 points!

48

Scott Moir sets off upfield. He easily hands off the weak tackles of Sławomir Anioł, then Patryk Kępka. The fullback is in his way, so he offloads to Romeo Ionuţ Ionescu who is running in support. The pass is badly judged though, and goes behind the man. A lucky escape for Printesa Ralu there!

47

Jacinto Siqueira signals to his forwards to stay behind the ball and sends a hanging kick in their direction. Both Sławomir Anioł and Scott Moir jump for the catch, but both players have misjudged the flight of the ball and it sails over their heads. Scott Moir is the first to react, scooping up the loose ball on the first bounce.

Nice breakthrough by Lucas Lopez who gets low and charges. He cannons into Pello Jamussa like a stampeding bull, but Pello Jamussa wraps him up and manages to bring him down. Looks like we finally know what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object.

It's not been the best start for the home supporters, but still plenty of time for them to find something to cheer about!

39

Look at that curl! Romeo Ionuţ Ionescu certainly has a very different kicking technique, but it sure does work.

38

Ashley Woodland fends off the tackle from Tapio Kesä. He runs a few meters and passes to Jan Läpple, who is running flat out at the defense. Great ball, right on his chest. Printesa Ralu aren't in a position to stop him, and Jan Läpple dives over the try line unhindered.

Edmond Dantes have an overlap on the right. Looks like they've spotted it too. Andreas Brasque fires a quick pass off to Ashley Woodland who flicks the ball on to Scott Moir. He's rushed the pass though, and the ball evades the grasp of Ratko Katalinski. That was a good scoring opportunity gone to waste.

Alfredo Musillo has taken to one knee and is holding the side of his head. The trainer rushes onto the pitch to assess the injury and immediately signals to the bench for a substitution. There is a warm round of applause ringing around Printesa Ralu stadium as Alfredo Musillo is helped from the field with blood seeping through his fingers, M De villiers runs on to take his place.Alfredo Musillo is led straight down the tunnel to get that wound stitched up.

Try time!!! The Edmond Dantes scrum half, Ashley Woodland, senses an opportunity as Tapio Kesä is the only defender to his left. He throws a massive dummy left, jinks right and dives over for an easy try. You'd think players of this level wouldn't fall for that kind of trickery!

Turnover ball! Sławomir Anioł scoops the ball out of the ruck. I'm not sure he was on his feet there, but the referee is waving play on. He passes the ball to Lucas Lopez, but Edmond Dantes's scramble defence manages to close him down, and Pello Jamussa tackles him.

Superb work there by forwards and backs alike! Ashley Woodland sends the ball to Pello Jamussa who carries it on before passing on to Angel Zhelyazkov. He spots that he has an overlap outside, draws in a defender and then passes to Scott Moir. There's nobody between him and the try line, and he sprints in for a well-worked try.

Oooh! That's not a good kick from Jacinto Siqueira, i'm not sure it will make it to the ten meter line..The crowd here at Printesa Ralu stadium hold their breath..
Juan Pablo Melgarejo takes the ball just inches over the ten meter mark. Jacinto Siqueira got away with that one after all!

Scott Moir busts straight through the poor tackling of Sławomir Anioł and Patryk Kępka, drawing the last defender in before tossing a deft pass to Arran Miller, who runs the last 10 meters and dives over the try line unopposed. Brilliant try!

Oh no! There is chaos on the field as the players start a punch up after a high tackle by Ratko Katalinski on Juan Pablo Melgarejo. The referee seems happy enough with the challenge though and signals play on. Somebody better tell the players to put their handbags away.
